Thanksgiving in the City

This year we spent Thanksgiving at our apartment in New York. Consider this a PSA that this was not done by choice, but was due to financial constraints (have you looked at flight prices recently for the holidays? It is insane). I was extremely sad to not be with my family on Thanksgiving having the best mashed potatoes made in Michigan and checked in throughout the day to see how much wine every had and who was winning the best Bingo prizes. We still managed to have a festive and fun holiday though, cooking dinner in our apartment with Jocelyn and Cory and their friend from Michigan, Than, who is in his last year at Yale Law.

We had some minor mishaps (the turkey turned green from a combo of garlic and lemon, Google it) but all in all it was a very successful and delicious dinner. Complete with homemade apple and pumpkin pies. It was nice to spend the holiday with friends and not face the craziness that is an airport the day before Thanksgiving.
